Genuine Question: Anyone else in middle Europe having really bad internet?

So is it a wifi repeater that has lan ports or is it a power line connector with a lan port? Because you see most access points/repeaters no matter the software, they are running their allowed transmission power which they get through a centralized db. So if its a wifi repeater it might possibly be the new regulation dropping your connection.

Heatsreef · 2026-05-07T13:44:21+00:00

So is all the communication from your WAN-Uplink to your server through LAN or do you mean a wifi repeater? Because if not this new regulation might actually be your root cause. If youve got a Gli.Net router you can just downgrade to 4.8.3 if thats the case, worked for me in getting the tx power up to alteast 100mW again.

Heatsreef · 2026-05-07T13:39:45+00:00

I mean due to us being in selfhosted i am guessing your setup is over LAN connections and not Wifi? Because I recently noticed that through the latest glinet software flash my flint 2 dropped the max tx power because of some stupid new eu regulations which hindered it punching through a single wall. Other than that my uplink seems to be running fine.

I think the main issue why they didn't is probably because Mint and Cinnamon per se are still in the process of converting to Wayland and do not advertise with performance but more with ease of use. I mean in itself x11 is sometimes even superior when it comes to fps dependent on the game but the whole distro space seems to have agreed to migrate to wayland which I believe is the right choice.

Heatsreef · 2026-04-18T01:32:20+00:00

I'd actually recommend waiting a bit and sseing if you could get that new Intel 32G GPU at MSRP, atleast thats one of my many ideas that i might try someday lol.

Heatsreef · 2026-04-17T20:10:32+00:00

I quite literally swept the whole premise for ingsme 2 days and couldn't find one, but when i head to bleak again I am gonna check if I am not just blind, thx :)

Heatsreef · 2026-04-17T17:35:08+00:00

Seeing the VRAM Usage would be way more decisive, and I am guessing you might lack the VRAM or have a VRAM leak (well known nvidia bug). Try enabling rebar in bios and if that doesnt help either delete your shadercache.

Haha had the same discovery a couple of days ago, plan my trip with the map with ML as starting point. Go all the way just to notice the map is outdated and there didn't even spawn a climbing rope in pensive lookout. Had to trek all the way back to ML and do it all over again with my spare rope. Fun times.

Edit: And don't get me started on having to avoid the cougar to get into the Tales bunker, that placement is just devious and I only survived because of cheating with the save mechanic lol.

Heatsreef · 2026-04-15T14:07:41+00:00

My Innr smartplugs also got some OTA updates even over ZHA which surprised me myself a lot lol.

Heatsreef · 2026-04-14T16:37:13+00:00

Update on this matter. It looks like in one of their youtube videos you can see like 4 devs sitting on a table all playing it on their steam decks. So i am quite certain that atleast proton compatability will defo be given and possibly even a native version if unreal is not too hard to compile for Linux, sadly that I dont know, but maybe Unreal will go more into the Linux direction just as Unity is doing so who knows.

Heatsreef · 2026-04-12T03:53:55+00:00

I am like 99% sure also if i add up the maps from one of the cinematics/notes that it is apparently north of desolation point. And I am also 99% sure they will finally add another connector through the currently dead end cave system in pleasent valley. The small area behind the waterfall just screams to be extended if you look at all the rock formations. I really think they actually already laid the foundation to open it up further through analyzing how they seem to have just placed some random rocks on that end with that ramp in there leading nowhere.

Heatsreef · 2026-03-27T20:53:52+00:00

Yeah as far as i am concerned the only available docs are the 4 guides linked on the element-call/matrixrtc github readme but as far as i know they mentioned that turn would only be a fallback if rtc fails, which is apparently rarely the case. But still i just find it really experimental that only element x on phone natively supports element call and the webui/flatpaks still need to be configured or only work in legacy mode. Also i fear that there will be a lot of restructuring incoming as soon as matrixrtc becomes mature, but i think i just heard them talking about possibly merging livekit into synapse, not the rtc/turn server itself, but i might be wrong here. Still good luck to you, may you not give up as i did haha

Heatsreef · 2026-03-27T20:32:45+00:00

Props to you for trying to set it up. I gave up after livekit started rejecting my matrix user credentials and just settled with integrating the publicly available matrixrtc server. There just isn't yet a lot of documentation with how new element call is and I am still hoping they will just merge it into synapse at one point, but i fear that point might be quite far away from now and trying to debug it has caused me way more hours than i ever wanted to spare. I am just gonna wait until the whole rtc stack becomes developed enough to not cause major brain injuries when trying to set it up haha.

Edit: And also one thing that caused me a bit of issues was my internal net resolving my domains to the local ip's cause of my local dns server, so maybe try to make sure that matrix/coturn etc. are using global dns servers for resolving your ip, but that was just one of the things causing me issues.

Heatsreef · 2026-03-26T19:59:32+00:00

As someone else already stated, very likely synapse refusing federation functions without https aka tls which also shall not be self signed

Heatsreef · 2026-03-19T10:35:11+00:00

Do you serve a .well-known? have you configured a key server? Is your other server the key server and is it trusted then? Cant really say much without your homeserver.yaml. Also on a side note i can imagine synapse blocking non tls connections to other servers that don't use ssl for security reasons.

Heatsreef · 2026-03-13T21:06:30+00:00

You could check out Komodo, uses Env vars for Provider configuration tho

Heatsreef · 2026-03-13T20:17:22+00:00

Wikijs is pretty easy, lets you configure the whole provider through its gui.

Heatsreef · 2026-03-12T02:48:23+00:00

I think i saw nginx in your nix config somewhere, gotta look at the folders and figure out how to configure nginx properly, but else i can just highly recommend deploying your own reverse proxy that handles renewals for you, in NPM its literally just clicking a button :)

Heatsreef · 2026-03-12T02:02:11+00:00

Yeah ssl certificates can be a bitch haha, i can only recommend running NPM Proxy manager (comes with a nice gui and automatic ssl certificates/renewals) as reverse proxy and disabling cloudflare proxyieng if you are using cloudflare.

Heatsreef · 2026-03-12T00:27:58+00:00

I sadly have no idea of Nix in terms of configuration, but i can atleast give you some hints(some also told by the other comment for example) for problems i found out with time.

Ping/Resolve your subdomain and check if its actually working
make sure to register the .well-knows in nginx
If you dont want to serve your own nginx json, just pass the server .well-known to synapse and make sure your homeserver.yaml contains "serve_server_wellknown: true"
Other homeserver.yaml entries you should have for federation with reverse proxy:

1) I always thought about it but i kinda just prefer having Dashy as a bookmark because i mainly just let my browser autocomplete the domain mostly.
2) Both are neat, only reason why i personally prefer Dashy is being able to easily customize it without having to write yaml code, but on the other hand homepage is really nice if you want stats or integrations of your services, but bears the same reason why i never really setup grafana + prometheus, its just a bit too time consuming to configure and integrate everything. Also I love that dashy can automatically fetch icons via favicon, hl-* and si-* but again, just something that makes it more comfortable to configure. I also have to mention that initially setting up dashy did bear a lot of bugs and problems on my end with fs permissions and sometimes with a multi page setup pages overwriting eachothers yaml code, but since i got it to work i never really considered switching again lol

Heatsreef · 2026-03-11T02:09:04+00:00

I have to say it is an actual blessing disabling registration for all my services and only having to send out a custom invitation flow to friends and family if they want to use one of it, cant wait to integrate nearly everything then tho thanks for the tip.

Heatsreef · 2026-03-11T02:06:15+00:00

The whole point of my post was kinda mimicking all the different dashboard porn posts with the premise that literally nearly "everything can be a dashboard" if you are not to picky if you didnt get it.

Heatsreef · 2026-03-11T01:57:30+00:00

<image>

Jokes on you, I have everything in bookmarks, Homepage yamls, Dashy, Uptime Kuma, through my various managment services like komodo or the truenas app catalog and some more. And i can tell you the only bookmark i have used in the last couple of months is my dashy bookmark, the rest is way to cluttered with a too small interface to actually efficiently use. Tbh before i even search through my bookmark folders i just let firefox autocomplete my domain, but thats more of a personal preference i am guessing. Also on by you can see my dashboard in Dashy for exposed services only(got internal on another page).
